What to Do If You Worked at These Sites
OSHA first set workplace asbestos limits in 1971, but documented exposure at many of the sites above runs decades earlier. If you worked at any facility listed and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, or lung cancer, a few practical steps protect both your health and any future claim. Document your work history with dates, job duties, and specific job-site locations; pull your Social Security earnings record if employers are hard to reconstruct. Gather medical records covering the diagnosis and treatment timeline. Consult an attorney who handles mesothelioma cases, since general personal injury firms rarely carry the product identification databases these claims need. File promptly: statutes of limitations vary by state and can be as short as one year from diagnosis.
Compensation Options
Workers exposed to asbestos may qualify for compensation from four sources that often run in parallel. Asbestos trust funds hold over $30 billion set aside by bankrupt manufacturers, with 60+ trusts still paying claims. Lawsuits target companies still in business whose products contributed to exposure. VA benefits apply to veterans whose exposure occurred during military service and are paid alongside any civil recovery. Workers' compensation adds another layer in states that allow occupational asbestos claims on top of tort recovery.
